Hello everyone,
I am trying to make an app base on HTML and java actually I have this mobile site and contents are mostly text and 2 java picture galleries, and I need to run it as a native app.
Is it possible to make mobnile website in other tools and somehow import them manually to Eclipse to get the app built?
Because when I use new-->android application, the projects have only XML files and I am not familiar with xml

I confess that I am a newbie, and I don
 
Hi rozaboy, and welcome to AF :)

You might get a better answer to this in the Android Development section. Hang on a minute and I'll move the thread over there.
 
Hi,
i used this
PhotoSwipe
with a little bit help of HTML and jQuery+jQuery mobile

it doesn't really matter the biggest question is can i use HTML5+CSS+JQuery in Eclipse classic?
 
Yes, you can use all of the mentioned in eclipse, but in order to have syntax highlighting, auto-complete, etc.. you will need to download a plugin. I don't really use eclipse for web development, so I can't really recommend a good plugin for this.

EDIT: Misunderstood your question. You can build a website in eclipse and then access it on your phone's browser, but in order to build a native app, you will need to use Java. You cannot generate a native app from web code unless you use a tool such as PhoneGap, but even then you are somewhat limited as to what you can do.
 
Actually I tried phone gap too, that will work fine for me with dream weaver cs6.
I even tested a little app works very well and everything is loading perfectly on android,
I started to build my actual app that I mentioned before and everything looks fine in emulators and dream weaver itself but when I use phone gap build services it shows this error:
"Syntax Error: JSON.parse"
And I didn't use JSON anywhere
 
hey rozaboy,

If you are talking about application development using HTML and javascript I will suggest Sencha Touch. You can read more and test demos here.

Once you have developed the app using Sencha you can package it for android, iPhone and Blackberry. About packaging app you can read here.
